Ford Escape Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | June 28, 2013
Reported on June 28, 2013
| DRIVING THE CAR WOULD RESULT IN THE CAR TO STALL. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT INTO NEUTRAL TO RESTART CAR. THEN THE RPM WOULD JUMP THEN STALL AGAIN. I TOOK IN THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED AND FOUND CODE THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS STUCK CLOSED SO THE CAR WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE THROTTLE BODY BEING REPLACED. AFTER FIXED THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THE PROBLEM IS $500 LATER AFTER THE REPAIR AND THE CAR HAD NOT EVEN BROKE THE 50K YET. VERY BAD PROBLEM AND SEEMS A IF I AM NO THE ONLY ONE. AFTER LOOKING IT UP TO SEE IF I COULD GET THE PARTS MYSELF I SAW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT FORD VEHICLES AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SAME RANGE OF YEARS. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND JUST GLAD THE KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CARS AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR | |
